CROSS-REFERENCE

This application is a continuation of International Patent Application No. PCT/US2019/060155, filed Nov. 6, 2019, which claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 62/756,539 filed Nov. 6, 2018, each of which is hereby incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Skeletal muscle is the largest organ system in the human body, serving two primary purposes. The first is force production to enable muscle contraction, locomotion, and postural maintenance; the second is glucose, fatty acid and amino acid metabolism. The contraction of skeletal muscle during every-day activity and exercise is naturally connected to muscle stress, breakdown and remodeling which is important for muscle adaptation. In individuals with neuromuscular conditions, such as Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), muscle contractions lead to continued rounds of amplified muscle breakdown that the body struggles to repair. Eventually, as patients age, a pathophysiological process emerges that leads to excess inflammation, fibrosis, and fatty deposit accumulation in the muscle, portending a steep decline in physical function and contribution to mortality.

DMD is a genetic disorder affecting skeletal muscle and is characterized by progressive muscle degeneration and weakness. There remains a need for treatments that reduce muscle breakdown in patients with neuromuscular conditions such as DMD.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

While preferred embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described herein, it will be obvious to those skilled in the art that such embodiments are provided by way of example only. Numerous variations, changes, and substitutions will now occur to those skilled in the art without departing from the invention. It should be understood that various alternatives to the embodiments of the invention described herein may be employed in practicing the invention. It is intended that the following claims define the scope of the invention and that methods and structures within the scope of these claims and their equivalents be covered thereby.

In certain aspects, the disclosure provides methods for treating neuromuscular conditions through selective inhibition of fast-fiber skeletal muscle myosin. In particular, methods of the disclosure may be used in the treatment of DMD and other neuromuscular conditions.

Skeletal muscle is mainly composed of two types of fibers, slow-twitch muscle fiber (i.e., type I) and fast-twitch muscle fiber (i.e., type II). In each muscle, the two types of fibers are configured in a mosaic-like arrangement, with differences in fiber type composition in different muscles and at different points in growth and development. Slow-twitch muscle fibers have excellent aerobic energy production ability. Contraction rate of the slow-twitch muscle fiber is low but tolerance to fatigue is high. Slow-twitch muscle fibers typically have a higher concentration of mitochondria and myoglobin than do fast-twitch fibers and are surrounded by more capillaries than are fast-twitch fibers. Slow-twitch fibers contract at a slower rate due to lower myosin ATPase activity and produce less power compared to fast-twitch fibers, but they are able to maintain contractile function over longer-terms, such as in stabilization, postural control, and endurance exercises.

Fast twitch muscle fibers in humans are further divided into two main fiber types depending on the specific fast skeletal myosin they express (Type IIa, IIx/d). A third type of fast fiber (Type IIb) exists in other mammals but is rarely identified in human muscle. Fast-twitch muscle fibers have excellent anaerobic energy production ability and are able to generate high amounts of tension over a short period of time. Typically, fast-twitch muscle fibers have lower concentrations of mitochondria, myoglobin, and capillaries compared to slow-twitch fibers, and thus can fatigue more quickly. Fast-twitch muscles produce quicker force required for power and resistance activities.

The proportion of the type I and type II can vary in different individuals. For example, non-athletic individuals can have close to 50% of each muscle fiber types. Power athletes can have a higher ratio of fast-twitch fibers, e.g., 70-75% type II in sprinters. Endurance athletes can have a higher ratio of slow-twitch fibers, e.g., 70-80% in distance runners. The proportion of the type I and type II fibers can also vary depending on the age of an individual. The proportion of type II fibers, especially the type IIx, can decline as an individual ages, resulting in a loss in lean muscle mass.

The contractile action of skeletal muscle leads to muscle damage in subjects with neuromuscular disease, e.g., DMD, and this damage appears to be more prevalent in fast fibers. It has been observed that acute force drop after lengthening injury is greater in predominantly fast type II fiber muscles compared to predominantly slow type I fiber muscles in dystrophy mouse models. It has also been demonstrated that the degree of acute force drop and histological damage in dystrophy mouse models is proportional to peak force development during lengthening injury. Excessive contraction-induced injuries, which precede the inflammation and irreversible fibrosis that characterizes late-stage DMD pathology are shown in FIG. 1 [Figure adapted: Claflin and Brooks, Am J Brooks, Physiol Cell, 2008]. Contraction-induced muscle damage in these patients may be reduced by limiting peak force generation in type II fibers and possibly increasing reliance on healthier type I fibers. N-benzyl-p-tolyl-sulfonamide (BTS), an inhibitor of fast-fiber skeletal muscle myosin, has been shown to protect muscles from pathological muscle derangement in embryos from zebrafish model of DMD as shown in FIG. 2. [Source: Li and Amer, PLoSONE, 2015].

Inhibitors of skeletal muscle myosin that are not selective for the type II fibers may lead to excessive inhibition of skeletal muscle contraction including respiratory function and unwanted inhibition of cardiac activity as the heart shares several structural components (such as type I myosin) with type I skeletal muscle fibers. While not wishing to be bound by a particular mechanistic theory, this disclosure provides selective inhibitors of fast-fiber skeletal muscle myosin as a treatment option for DMD and other neuromuscular conditions. The targeted inhibition of type II skeletal muscle myosin may reduce skeletal muscle contractions while minimizing the impact on a subject's daily activities.

Chemical entities having carbon-carbon double bonds or carbon-nitrogen double bonds may exist in Z- or E- form (or cis- or trans- form). Furthermore, some chemical entities may exist in various tautomeric forms. Unless otherwise specified, compounds described herein are intended to include all Z-, E- and tautomeric forms as well.

A “tautomer” refers to a molecule wherein a proton shift from one atom of a molecule to another atom of the same molecule is possible. The compounds presented herein, in certain embodiments, exist as tautomers. In circumstances where tautomerization is possible, a chemical equilibrium of the tautomers will exist. The exact ratio of the tautomers depends on several factors, including physical state, temperature, solvent, and pH. Some examples of tautomeric equilibrium include:

The compounds disclosed herein, in some embodiments, are used in different enriched isotopic forms, e.g., enriched in the content of ²H, ³H, ¹¹C, ¹³C and/or ¹⁴C. In one particular embodiment, the compound is deuterated in at least one position. Such deuterated forms can be made by the procedure described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,846,514 and 6,334,997. As described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,846,514 and 6,334,997, deuteration can improve the metabolic stability and or efficacy, thus increasing the duration of action of drugs.

Unless otherwise stated, compounds described herein are intended to include compounds which differ only in the presence of one or more isotopically enriched atoms. For example, compounds having the present structures except for the replacement of a hydrogen by a deuterium or tritium, or the replacement of a carbon by ¹³C- or ¹⁴C-enriched carbon are within the scope of the present disclosure.

The compounds of the present disclosure optionally contain unnatural proportions of atomic isotopes at one or more atoms that constitute such compounds. For example, the compounds may be labeled with isotopes, such as for example, deuterium (²H), tritium (³H), iodine-125 (¹²⁵I) or carbon-14 (¹⁴C). Isotopic substitution with ²H, ¹¹C, ¹³C, ¹⁴C, ¹⁵C, ¹²N, ¹³N, ¹⁵N, ¹⁶N, ¹⁶O, ¹⁷O, ¹⁴F, ¹⁵F, ¹⁶F, ¹⁷F, ¹⁸F, ³³S, ³⁴S, ³⁵S, ³⁶S, ³⁵Cl, ³⁷Cl, ⁷⁹Br, ⁸¹Br, and ¹²⁵I are all contemplated. All isotopic variations of the compounds of the present invention, whether radioactive or not, are encompassed within the scope of the present invention.

In certain embodiments, the compounds disclosed herein have some or all of the ¹H atoms replaced with ²H atoms. The methods of synthesis for deuterium-containing compounds are known in the art and include, by way of non-limiting example only, the following synthetic methods.

Deuterium substituted compounds are synthesized using various methods such as described in: Dean, Dennis C.; Editor. Recent Advances in the Synthesis and Applications of Radiolabeled Compounds for Drug Discovery and Development. [In: Curr., Pharm. Des., 2000; 6(10)] 2000, 110 pp; George W.; Varma, Rajender S. The Synthesis of Radiolabeled Compounds via Organometallic Intermediates, Tetrahedron, 1989, 45(21), 6601-21; and Evans, E. Anthony. Synthesis of radiolabeled compounds, J. Radioanal. Chem., 1981, 64(1-2), 9-32.

Deuterated starting materials are readily available and are subjected to the synthetic methods described herein to provide for the synthesis of deuterium-containing compounds. Large numbers of deuterium-containing reagents and building blocks are available commercially from chemical vendors, such as Aldrich Chemical Co.

Compounds of the present invention also include crystalline and amorphous forms of those compounds, pharmaceutically acceptable salts, and active metabolites of these compounds having the same type of activity, including, for example, polymorphs, pseudopolymorphs, solvates, hydrates, unsolvated polymorphs (including anhydrates), conformational polymorphs, and amorphous forms of the compounds, as well as mixtures thereof.

Included in the present disclosure are salts, particularly pharmaceutically acceptable salts, of the compounds described herein. The compounds of the present disclosure that possess a sufficiently acidic, a sufficiently basic, or both functional groups, can react with any of a number of inorganic bases, and inorganic and organic acids, to form a salt. Alternatively, compounds that are inherently charged, such as those with a quaternary nitrogen, can form a salt with an appropriate counterion, e.g., a halide such as bromide, chloride, or fluoride, particularly bromide.

The compounds described herein may in some cases exist as diastereomers, enantiomers, or other stereoisomeric forms. The compounds presented herein include all diastereomeric, enantiomeric, and epimeric forms as well as the appropriate mixtures thereof. Separation of stereoisomers may be performed by chromatography or by forming diastereomers and separating by recrystallization, or chromatography, or any combination thereof. (Jean Jacques, Andre Collet, Samuel H. Wilen, “Enantiomers, Racemates and Resolutions”, John Wiley And Sons, Inc., 1981, herein incorporated by reference for this disclosure). Stereoisomers may also be obtained by stereoselective synthesis.

The methods and compositions described herein include the use of amorphous forms as well as crystalline forms (also known as polymorphs). The compounds described herein may be in the form of pharmaceutically acceptable salts. As well, in some embodiments, active metabolites of these compounds having the same type of activity are included in the scope of the present disclosure. In addition, the compounds described herein can exist in unsolvated as well as solvated forms with pharmaceutically acceptable solvents such as water, ethanol, and the like. The solvated forms of the compounds presented herein are also considered to be disclosed herein.

In certain embodiments, compounds or salts of the compounds may be prodrugs, e.g., wherein a hydroxyl in the parent compound is presented as an ester or a carbonate, or carboxylic acid present in the parent compound is presented as an ester. The term “prodrug” is intended to encompass compounds which, under physiologic conditions, are converted into pharmaceutical agents of the present disclosure. One method for making a prodrug is to include one or more selected moieties which are hydrolyzed under physiologic conditions to reveal the desired molecule. In other embodiments, the prodrug is converted by an enzymatic activity of the host animal such as specific target cells in the host animal. For example, esters or carbonates (e.g., esters or carbonates of alcohols or carboxylic acids and esters of phosphonic acids) are preferred prodrugs of the present disclosure.

Prodrug forms of the herein described compounds, wherein the prodrug is metabolized in vivo to produce a compound as set forth herein are included within the scope of the claims. In some cases, some of the herein-described compounds may be a prodrug for another derivative or active compound.

Prodrugs are often useful because, in some situations, they may be easier to administer than the parent drug. They may, for instance, be bioavailable by oral administration whereas the parent is not. Prodrugs may help enhance the cell permeability of a compound relative to the parent drug. The prodrug may also have improved solubility in pharmaceutical compositions over the parent drug. Prodrugs may be designed as reversible drug derivatives, for use as modifiers to enhance drug transport to site-specific tissues or to increase drug residence inside of a cell.

In some embodiments, the design of a prodrug increases the lipophilicity of the pharmaceutical agent. In some embodiments, the design of a prodrug increases the effective water solubility.

In some aspects, methods of treating contraction-induced injury in skeletal muscle fiber may comprise administering a compound or salt of Formula (I′), (I), (Ia), (Ib), (Ic), (Id), (II′), (II), (III′), (III) or (IIIa) to inhibit skeletal muscle contraction and/or skeletal muscle myosin II. In certain embodiments, the inhibitor does not appreciably inhibit cardiac muscle contraction.

In certain embodiments, the contraction-induced injury in skeletal muscle fiber is from involuntary skeletal muscle contraction. The involuntary skeletal muscle contraction may be associated with a neuromuscular condition or spasticity-associated condition. In certain embodiments, the contraction-induced injury in skeletal muscle fiber may be from voluntary skeletal muscle contraction, e.g., physical exercise.

In certain embodiments, the administration of a compound or salt of Formula (I′), (I), (Ia), (Ib), (Ic), (Id), (II′), (II), (III′), (III) or (IIIa) to a subject modulates one or more biomarkers associated with muscle contraction. Examples of biomarkers include but are not limited to creatinine kinase (CK), Troponin T (TnT), Troponin C (TnC), Troponin I (TnI), pyruvate kinase (PK), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), myoglobin, isoforms of TnI (such as cardiac, slow skeletal, fast skeletal muscles) and inflammatory markers (IL-1, IL-6, IL-4, TNF-α). Biomarkers may also include measures of muscle inflammation for example, edema. The level of biomarkers described herein may increase after the administration of the inhibitor relative to pre-treatment level of the biomarkers. Alternatively, the level of biomarkers may decrease after the administration of the inhibitor relative to pre-treatment level of the biomarkers. The modulation of one or more biomarkers with an inhibitor described herein may indicate treatment of a neuromuscular condition such as those described herein.

Levels of CK in a subject increase when the subject is active as compared to when the subject is inactive (e.g., sleeping) and therefore CK is a potential metric for evaluating skeletal muscle breakdown caused by skeletal muscle contraction. In certain embodiments, a compound or salt of Formula (I′), (I), (Ia), (Ib), (Ic), (Id), (II′), (II), (III′), (III) or (IIIa) may be administered to a subject prior to mild, moderate or strenuous activity to reduce or prevent skeletal muscle breakdown from the activity.

Examples of moderate to strenuous activity include walking, running, weight lifting, biking, swimming, hiking, etc.

In certain embodiments, a compound or salt of Formula (I′), (I), (Ia), (Ib), (Ic), (Id), (II′), (II), (III′), (III) or (IIIa) is administered prior to, during, or after moderate or strenuous activity to reduce or prevent skeletal muscle breakdown from the activity.

In some aspects, the method of treating a neuromuscular condition or movement disorder comprises administering a compound or salt of Formula (I′), (I), (Ia), (Ib), (Ic), (Id), (II′), (II), (III′), (III) or (IIIa) wherein the compound or salt of Formula (I′), (I), (Ia), (Ib), (Ic), (Id), (II′), (II), (III′), (III) or (IIIa) inhibits myosin ATPase activity, native skeletal muscle myofibril ATPase (calcium regulated) or a reconstituted S1 with actin, tropomyosin and troponin. In vitro assays may be used to test the effect of the test compound or inhibitor on the myosin ATPase activity. Test compounds can be screened for assessing their inhibitory activity of muscle contraction. Inhibitory activity can be measured using an absorbance assay to determine actin-activated ATPase activity. Rabbit muscle myosin sub-fragment 1 (S1) can be mixed with polymerized actin and distributed into wells of assay plates without nucleotides. Test compounds can then be added into the wells with a pin array. The reaction can be initiated with MgATP. The amount of ATP consumption over a defined time period in the test vessel may be compared to the amount of ATP consumption in a control vessel. The defined period of time may be 5 minutes to 20 minutes. The ATP consumption can be determined by direct or indirect assays. The test compounds that reproducibly and strongly inhibited the myosin S1 ATPase activity can be evaluated further in dose response assay to determine IC50 for the compound ex vivo on dissected muscles. The assay may measure ATPase activity indirectly by coupling the myosin to pyruvate kinase and lactate dehydrogenase to provide an absorbance detection method at 340 nm based upon the conversion of NADH to NAD+ driven by ADP accumulation. In some cases, wherein ATP consumption is decreased by at least 20% in said test vessel than said control vessel, said test compound may be selected as a compound or salt of Formula (I′), (I), (Ia), (Ib), (Ic), (Id), (II′), (II), (III′), (III) or (IIIa). A test compound may be selected when there is at least 20% greater inhibition of NAD+ generation in a kinetic assay.

The effect of a test compound on slow type I skeletal muscle fibers, cardiac muscle bundles or lung muscle fibers, may be evaluated. A test compound or inhibitor compound or salt of Formula (I′), (I), (Ia), (Ib), (Ic), (Id), (II′), (II), (III′), (III) or (IIIa) may be selected so as not to appreciably modulate the function of slow type I skeletal muscle fibers, cardiac muscle bundles or lung muscle fibers and be specific for type II skeletal muscles. As used herein, the term “appreciably modulate” can refer to the contraction capacity of muscles following the inhibitor administration to be reduced less than 10%, less than 8%, less than 6%, less than 4%, less than 2%, less than 1%, less than 0.5% or even less than 0.1% relative to the muscle force/contraction prior to the administration of the inhibitor.

In some aspects, a method of treating a neuromuscular condition or a movement disorder may comprise administering to a subject in need thereof a compound or salt of Formula (I′), (I), (Ia), (Ib), (Ic), (Id), (II′), (II), (III′), (III) or (IIIa) wherein the compound or salt of Formula (I′), (I), (Ia), (Ib), (Ic), (Id), (II′), (II), (III′), (III) or (IIIa) reduces skeletal muscle contraction by 5% to 90% in an ex vivo assay. The ex vivo assays used may be mouse models. The mouse models used may be dystrophy mouse models such as an mdx mouse. The mdx mouse has a point mutation in its dystrophin gene, changing the amino acid coding for a glutamine to a threonine producing a nonfunctional dystrophin protein resulting in DMD where there is increased muscle damage and weakness. Extensor digitorum longus muscles may be dissected from mdx mice and mounted on a lever arm. The muscles may be bathed in an oxygenated Krebs solution to maintain muscle function. A test compound or compound or salt of Formula (I′), (I), (Ia), (Ib), (Ic), (Id), (II′), (II), (III′), (III) or (IIIa) may be applied to the muscles. An isometric (fixed length) contraction step may then be performed wherein the muscles are stimulated with a series of electrical pulses. An eccentric (lengthening) contraction step may be performed wherein the muscles are stretched to 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, or 30% greater than its rested length, while, relaxed or while stimulated with an electrical pulse. This may be repeated 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 times to cause muscle fiber injury. The electric pulses may have a frequency of 110 Hz to 150 Hz. The electric pulse may have a frequency of 110, 115, 120, 125, 130, 135, 140, 145 or 150 Hz. A series of electric pulses may comprise of individual pulses of different frequencies. The time period of each pulse in the series of electric pulses may be between 0.1 second to 0.5 seconds for each pulse. The time for each pulse may be 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.35, 0.4 or 0.5 seconds. Muscle membrane damage may also be measured by incubating muscles in procion orange after the isometric or eccentric contraction. Procion orange is a fluorescent dye that is taken up by muscle fibers with injured membranes. The number or proportion of dye-positive fibers may then quantified by histology. When the test force drop and/or proportion of dye-positive fibers may be at least 20% less than the control force drop and/or dye uptake, the test compound may be selected as a compound or salt of Formula (I′), (I), (Ia), (Ib), (Ic), (Id), (II′), (II), (III′), (III) or (IIIa).

Using an isometric or eccentric set of contractions, the force generated by the muscle may be measured. The change in force generated by the muscle before and after an isometric or eccentric set of contractions may be calculated as the test force drop. The calculations may be compared to the change in force generated by the muscle contraction from the first pulse to the last pulse in a control sample without exposure to the test compound (control force drop). Force drop can be used as a surrogate of muscle injury and a test compound or inhibitor compound or salt of Formula (I′), (I), (Ia), (Ib), (Ic), (Id), (II′), (II), (III′), (III) or (IIIa) may be selected when the test force drop is at least 20% less than the control force drop.

Combination Therapies

Also contemplated herein are combination therapies, for example, co-administering a disclosed compound and an additional active agent, as part of a specific treatment regimen intended to provide the beneficial effect from the co-action of these therapeutic agents. The beneficial effect of the combination includes, but is not limited to, pharmacokinetic or pharmacodynamic co-action resulting from the combination of therapeutic agents. Administration of these therapeutic agents in combination typically is carried out over a defined time period (usually hours, days, weeks, months or years depending upon the combination selected). Combination therapy is intended to embrace administration of multiple therapeutic agents in a sequential manner, that is, wherein each therapeutic agent is administered at a different time, as well as administration of these therapeutic agents, or at least two of the therapeutic agents, in a substantially simultaneous manner.

Substantially simultaneous administration is accomplished, for example, by administering to the subject a single formulation or composition, (e.g., a tablet or capsule having a fixed ratio of each therapeutic agent or in multiple, single formulations (e.g., capsules) for each of the therapeutic agents. Sequential or substantially simultaneous administration of each therapeutic agent is affected by any appropriate route including, but not limited to, oral routes, intravenous routes, intramuscular routes, and direct absorption through mucous membrane tissues. The therapeutic agents are administered by the same route or by different routes. For example, a first therapeutic agent of the combination selected is administered by intravenous injection while the other therapeutic agents of the combination are administered orally. Alternatively, for example, all therapeutic agents are administered orally or all therapeutic agents are administered by intravenous injection.

The components of the combination are administered to a patient simultaneously or sequentially. It will be appreciated that the components are present in the same pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and, therefore, are administered simultaneously. Alternatively, the active ingredients are present in separate pharmaceutical carriers, such as, conventional oral dosage forms, that are administered either simultaneously or sequentially.

EXAMPLES

The invention now being generally described, it will be more readily understood by reference to the following examples which are included merely for purposes of illustration of certain aspects and embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the invention in any way.

The following synthetic schemes are provided for purposes of illustration, not limitation. The following examples illustrate the various methods of making compounds described herein. It is understood that one skilled in the art may be able to make these compounds by similar methods or by combining other methods known to one skilled in the art. It is also understood that one skilled in the art would be able to make the compounds of the disclosure, in a similar manner as described below by using the appropriate starting materials and modifying the synthetic route as needed. In general, starting materials and reagents can be obtained from commercial vendors or synthesized according to sources known to those skilled in the art or prepared as described herein.

Example 1. General Scheme—Synthesis of N-ethyl-2-(3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-6-oxopyridazin-1(6H)-yl)acetamide

Example 2. Exemplary Scheme—Synthesis of N-ethyl-2-(3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-6-oxopyridazin-1(6H)-yl)acetamide

6-bromopyridazin-3(2H)-one was combined with a haloacetate (e.g. methyl 2-bromoacetate), cesium carbonate and anon-protic solvent (e.g. DMF). The mixture was heated gently if necessary to increase the rate of halo displacement. Isolation of the major product provided the corresponding N-substituted pyridazinones. Heating the esters (e.g., methyl) in an alcoholic alkaneamine (e.g., ethanamine) solution produced the corresponding acetamides. A Suzuki reaction at the C-4 bromo position using a palladium catalyst (e.g. [1,1-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene]dichloropalladium (II)) and a mild base (e.g. potassium acetate) in dioxane/water produced the bi-aryl cores in good yield.

ATPase activity produces ADP, which is used as a substrate for PK to produce pyruvate and regenerate ATP. The pyruvate is then used as a substrate by LDH to oxidize NADH to NAD+. The rate of the reaction is monitored through the time-dependent disappearance of NADH using absorbance at 340 nm. Inhibition of ATPase activity by the assayed compounds is indicated by a reduced rate of NADH loss, relative to vehicle-treated controls, over the experimental time window. To assess the selectivity of the assayed compounds for skeletal myofibrils, the compounds are counter-screened in cardiac myofibrils.

Skeletal Myofibril ATPase Assay Procedure: BSA, ATP, NADH, PEP, and DTT solutions were thawed at room temperature, then transferred to ice. Pellet-frozen myofibrils were transferred with approximately twice the required volume into a sufficiently large tube and capped. Myofibrils were thawed by rolling in a water bath for approximately 15 min at room temperature and cooled on ice. Buffers A and B were prepared by adjusting volumes as necessary for required number of wells and stored on ice. 0.5 μL of the compounds to be assayed were added into wells. 25 μL of Buffer A was dispensed into the wells, followed by 25 μL of Buffer B. The wells were measured for absorbance at 340 nm, using a kinetic protocol in which the wells are read every 1.5-2 min for 45 min. The slope of the data was approximated by subtracting the minimum absorbance value from the maximum value for each well. This was accomplished either in the SoftMax Pro software or in a spreadsheet program such as Excel. Using GraphPad Prism 8.0, the data was normalized by assigning a value of 100% to the 1% DMSO vehicle wells. Typically, a normalized 0% value was simply assigned to a (Max−Min) value of 0. The normalized data was fit to a Four Parameter Logistic sigmoidal equation, constraining the bottom to be 0 or greater. Compounds of Table 1, 2, and 3 were tested and results of the assay appear in Tables 4a-4c. A=IC50 is less than or equal to 10 μM; B=IC₅₀ is greater than 10 μM and less than 100 μM; C=IC₅₀ is greater than 100 μM.

Example 13. Cardiac Myofibril ATPase Assay

Following example 11, the counter screen was done using frozen myofibril pellets obtained from cardiac tissue. The assay was done in the same manner as above, with the following notable exceptions: the final well concentration of myofibrils was 1.0 mg/mL and KCl was omitted from the recipe.

Compounds of Table 1 to 3 were tested, and results of the assays appear in Tables 5a-5c herein. A=IC₅₀ is less than or equal to 10 μM; B=IC₅₀ is greater than 10 μM and less than 100 μM; C=IC₅₀ is greater than 100 μM; and D=IC₅₀ is greater than 60 μM.

Example 14. Tibialis Anterior Muscle Assay

Skeletal muscles of patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and mdx mice lack dystrophin and are more susceptible to contraction-induced injury than control muscles. Two stretches of maximally activated tibialis anterior (TA) muscles in situ were used to evaluate the susceptibility to injury of limb muscles in mdx mice following the administration of a compound disclosed herein, stretches of 20% strain relative to muscle fiber length were initiated from the plateau of isometric contractions. The magnitude of damage was assessed one minute later by the deficit in isometric force.

Animals

Mice aged 2-19 months were tested. Specific pathogen free (SPF) C57BL control and mdx mice were either purchased or bred in-house with mating pairs purchased from the Jackson Laboratories. All control mice were of C57BL/10J strain with the exception of the 19-monthold mice that were C57BL/6. The use of C57BL/6 mice for the oldest group was necessary, since unlike C57BL/10J mice, C57BL/6 mice may be purchased at advanced ages from the colonies of aging rodents maintained by the National Institute on Aging.

In Situ Preparation

Mice were anesthetized with an initial intraperitoneal injection of Avertin (tribromoethanol; 13-17 ll/g). Anesthesia was supplemented until no responses to tactile stimuli were detected. This level of anesthesia was maintained throughout the experiment with additional doses of Avertin. The tendon of the TA was exposed by an incision at the ankle. The tendon was cut several millimeters distal to the end of the muscle. The tendon was tied with 4.0 nylon suture as close to the muscle attachment as possible, and the tendon was folded back onto itself and tied again. The tendon and exposed muscle were kept moist by periodic applications of isotonic saline. The mouse was placed on a heated platform maintained at 37° C. The foot of the mouse was secured to the platform with cloth tape and the knee was immobilized in a clamp between sharpened screws. The tendon of the muscle was tied securely to the lever arm of a servomotor. The servomotor controlled the position of the muscle and monitored the force developed by the muscle. All data were displayed on a digital oscilloscope and stored on a computer.

The TA muscle was stimulated with 0.2-ms pulses via two needle electrodes that penetrated the skin on either side of the peroneal nerve near the knee. Stimulation voltage and subsequently muscle length (Lo) were adjusted for maximum isometric twitch force (Pt). While held at Lo, the muscle was stimulated at increasing frequencies, stepwise from 150 Hz by 50 Hz, until a maximum force (Po) was reached, typically at 250 Hz. A one- to two-minute rest period was allowed between each tetanic contraction. Muscle length was measured with calipers, based on well-defined anatomical landmarks near the knee and the ankle. Optimum fiber length was determined by multiplying Lo by the TA Lf/Lo ratio of 0.6.

Lengthening Contraction Protocol

Each muscle was exposed to two stretches in situ, with the muscle stimulated at 250 Hz, the frequency that most often resulted in Po. A protocol consisting of only two contractions was used to avoid fatigue. Stretches were initiated from the plateau of an isometric contraction at Lo. The time course of the protocol is shown in FIG. 1. At time 0, stimulation was initiated, and the muscle was held with no movement for 100 ms to allow maximum activation. From the plate au of the maximum isometric contraction, a length change of 20% Lf at a velocity of 1 Lf/s was imposed (LC1). Stimulation ceased at the end of the stretch ramp. The muscle was held at the stretched length for 100 ms and then returned to Lo at the same velocity. A second lengthening contraction identical to the first was administered 10 min later (LC2). Maximum isometric force was measured after 1 min (

1 min) and then again each 5 min for 15 min. Force deficits were calculated as the difference between the isometric force during LC1 and the maximum isometric force measured at any given time and expressed as a percentage of the isometric force during LC1. The recovery during the 15 min following the two-lengthening-contraction protocol was quantified as the difference between the isometric force measured at 15 min and the isometric force after the second lengthening contraction and expressed as a percentage of initial Po.

After the final evaluation of isometric force, the TA muscle was removed from the mouse. The tendon and Lengthening contractions induced muscle injury and decreased Po. The experimental protocol consisted of two muscle stretches during maximal activation, followed by maximal activation to measure the decrease in maximum isometric force (Po). Panel A shows the length change of the muscle of 20% strain relative to fiber length (Lf), where 100% corresponds to optimum muscle length (Lo) for force development. The muscle was stretched at a velocity of 2 Lf/s. Panel B demonstrates the decrease in Po after the two-stretch protocol in a representative mdx mouse. Each lengthening contraction was initiated from the plateau of a maximum isometric contraction. Ten seconds after the first lengthening contraction (LC1), a second lengthening contraction occurred (LC2). Maximum force during an isometric contraction was measured 1 min after LC2 (

1 min) and again after 15 min of recovery (

15 min). The force deficit was calculated by dividing the difference between the Po during LC1 and the Po measured at any time after LC1 by the Po during LC1 and multiplying by 100%. suture were trimmed from the muscle, and the muscle was weighed. After removal of TA muscles, deeply anesthetized mice were euthanized by the induction of a pneumothorax. Total muscle fiber cross-sectional area (CSA) of TA muscles was calculated by dividing muscle mass by the product of Lf and 1.06 mg/mm3, the density of mammalian skeletal muscle. Specific Po was calculated by dividing Po by CSA. The result of the trials are seen in FIGS. 3-6.

FIG. 3 shows the force decrease pre injury at 100 Hz for compounds of the disclosure. Force was measured in the TA muscle of the mdx mouse in situ at 100 Hz before and after oral administration of the compound. A 100 Hz stimulus was applied every 10 minutes and the change in force, before starting the eccentric injury protocol was recorded. This metric gives an indication of the relative ability of the compound to decrease force in a target tissue.

FIG. 4 shows the post injury force decrease at 175 Hz for compounds of the disclosure. Maximal force was measured at 175 Hz in the TA muscle in situ before and 10 minutes after two rounds of eccentric (lengthening) contraction. In mdx mice, lengthening contraction yields an exaggerated force drop. This measurement gives an indication of the ability of the compound to reduce the relative drop in force after eccentric contraction. FIG. 5 shows mid lengthening force drop for compounds of the disclosure. Injury to the TA muscle in situ was elicited via two maximal eccentric contractions with 20% lengthening, 10 minutes apart. This metric measures the relative drop in pre-lengthening force between the first and the second contraction.

FIG. 6 shows the TA mass increase after injury for compounds of the disclosure. Lengthening injury of the TA muscle in mdx mice causes a delayed increase in muscle weight post-injury. This is presumably due to fluid accumulation in the form of edema. Muscles (both injured and contralateral) were removed from the mouse 1 hour after injury and weighed. The relative increase in weight of injured to contralateral was recorded. Reduction in this relative change is indicative of reduced edema post-injury.

In some embodiments, the disclosure provides compounds of Formula (I) in Table 1.
